Farrow & Ball

Celebrating 11 new colours

These short but intensely lovely films are about the birth of new colours.

Don’t be deceived by the simplicity; these little films are all about patience and expertise. Delving into the birth of a new colour, each film explores the abstract and the fantastical, the  whimsical otherworldly vistas of colour making in macro detail.


Beautifully shot, they are extraordinary moments of colour being created.


Gus Filgate played with many different techniques and invented rigs to achieve these playful ideas, and then added extra layers of titling and sound design to further enrich the images!
